Fennel oil is obtained from the seeds of the Foeniculum vulgare plant, known as fennel or fennel, which is included in the celery family (Apiaceae). Two varieties are used - bitter (Foeniculi amari fructus) and sweet (Foeniculi dulcis fructus). Although similar, they differ somewhat in composition. The scent is reminiscent of licorice or anise, being herbal, mildly sweet and camphor-like. It is sure to add character to any room and have a positive effect on mood.
Fennel oil has a rich composition, but the main role is played by anethole (it accounts for up to 80%), which not only is responsible for the fragrance, but is also an excellent antiseptic and antioxidant. It will work well for minor cuts, wounds and facial skin imperfections.
Natural oil can be successfully used during inhalation - it stimulates the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and aids the expectoration process. It is indispensable during infections - it will facilitate breathing and bring a sense of refreshment, this is one of the bases for rapid recovery during illness. Fennel oil is commonly used in medicines and supplements to support the digestive system, as well as in the production of cosmetics. It is worth enriching your favorite creams with a few drops of the oil - the effects may surprise you.
Since it's an essential oil, it's also necessary to mention the aromatherapeutic effect. And this is impressive - fennel oil calms, soothes nerves, relaxes and improves mental activity.
